I've sailed upon this cursed ship for nigh on 15 years

In service of the king's decree, a naval privateer

And when I lost my arm at sea, he sent forth a demand

I stumbled to the nearest bar

"Where is your mighty pirate ship? Why aren't you drinking rum?"

Twas at this point I finally snapped, and shot him with my gun
[Pre-Chorus]

I've had it with this stupid hat

I hate the taste of rum

I'm never going back to sea

The pirate's life is dumb
